Were these new plugs? How much idle time? Very hard to see the timing mark and you need to cut the threads to see the fuel ring.

My first impression is way rich.... Maybe once we see the porcelain it may look different.

I'm no expert, but from what I can see, too much timing and really rich. Take Carter's advice and pull them all and cut the threads off.

If you have excess idle time or any kind of driving after the pass was made then there is no way to get a good reading on the plug.

In order to get a correct reading you need to make a pass and IMMEDIATELY kill the vehicle / pull over then pull at least 2 plugs each side min but would be better to pull them all and replace with a new set to drive home or back to the lanes with.

too rich is way more unsafe than too lean....

run less timing and SLOWLY add it to the overall package.

I disagree, rich is not safe.
You wont hurt it lean unless you have to much timing in it.

That's what he said.... The grammar was just jacked.

BTW, I doubt it was a fresh plug. Look at the dirt up past the threads.
